    Worth risking life for?

    They will never know the sheer terror of being in a multi-ton object going down a hill with no friction when you just want to stop or at the very least not slide of the death slope that is off to the side of you.

    Fortunately I never had the death slope, before Cambridge, I lived in a CT suburb but my car slid on the ice more that I care to remember. One time my dad was driving me somewhere and he tried to break at an intersection at the bottom of a gentle hill but the ice made him slide right through it, so he leaned on his horn to warn the car that was about to go through. Turns out a guy I knew was in that car and could see me through the window. He walked up to me later that week and was just like what the hell was that?

    Sometimes the heart wants what it wants. When I lived in Cambridge, MA about 10 years ago, I was craving fresh baked cookies and I promised by girlfriend I'd make some so we could have cookies and cocoa while watching a blizzard that was hitting us at full blast. After the first few bodegas were closed due to the weather, I eventually reached a "I've been out here looking for a place that's open so long I ain't turning back now" place. I kept walking in the street (the sidewalks were piled with snow from the plows), and even had to jump into a snowpile to avoid an oncoming plow until I found a place that was open.

    And those cookies were somewhat worth it.

    Yikes! Maybe it was good to hold off a while before buying it this time. I always get mine first week of December. I'll make a note of it in the other thread to see if anyone else has this issue.

    Mine works ok, though I’m having trouble with the HBWC 2012 cart I ordered at the same time (it goes immediately from start screen to “time’s up”). They responded to my original support email but we’re still working through it. They’re probably inundated because of the holidays.

    JoshProd has had a countdown on his site's homepage with a big Saturn logo in the middle for months that finally reached 0 at midnight tonight EST (JoshProd.com), but nothing happened. I figured it was counting down to opening orders for Verdict Guilty, an impressive looking 2D fighter (Info on Verdict Guilty here), but I can't find any recent news promoting his website or referring to the countdown generally or this date specifically. Anyone have any ideas?
